I put my Great divide back on the B/S/E if that counts. I spent a lot of time GASing for the pedal, and my tastes in pedals and such changed while gassing for it, so when I finally got it I wasn't too into it. It's a lesson learn about not letting GAS sit for too long without being checked. :!!!:

Obviously the only solution is to buy things sooner. :lol:

I regret giving people cool pedals, which they don't use. Meathead clone, Fender Blender reissue, Mutron Phasor...

Yeah!
Spreadsheets are the shit.
It lets me keep track of what I've owned and helps me remember what I traded things for.

- Lovetone Big Cheese. Bought it new, and payed a lot for it too. Not as much as what they go for these days though. Got stolen.
- Missed out on a vintage ibanez AD-9 for $50. Apparantly the dude in the shop was clueless. Hesitated like a dumbass, and someone beat me to it.
- Old Marshall 1965a cab for $180. Hesitated like a dumbass and someone beat me to it.
- Orange OR120: Bought and sold it agian for about half of what they're worth now.
- Early '70s Marshall SuperBass, with one channel converted to SLP specs: Also sold it way too cheap, and miss it ever since.
- Original JBL speakers that came in my SF twin reverb: Got stolen.

I regret that I don't have enough money to buy all the gear I want. Other than that I'm pretty cool with what I have. I'm a lucky SOB.

My only regret was selling my Octron... so I got another one.

I have two gear related regrets but neither are that bad.
1) I sold my Vox AC4TV, which was the best sounding little bedroom amp I've ever heard.
2) Trading my Recording King ROS-06 for a bunch of cheap, shitty pedals. Sure it was a cheap guitar and it was an even trade but I miss it so much. It was the perfect acoustic for me. Also I still haven't bought another acoustic and I really wish I had one.

Hah! I burned one up by accident, flipped another one and now have my third. Well I think it's my third? My problem is I've owned most effects multiple time and I just can't be satisfied. The fuck is wrong with me?
